s 36

(1)

Where by an agreement made in relation to future layout design rights and entered into by or on behalf of the person who would, apart from this section, be the owner of the rights on their coming into existence, that person purports to assign the future layout design rights, whether wholly or partly, to another person, then if, on those rights coming into existence, the assignee or any person claiming under him would be entitled as against all other persons to require the rights to be vested in him, those rights shall vest in the assignee or his successor in title.

(2)

Where, at the time when layout design rights come into existence, the person who would be entitled to them is dead, they shall devolve as if, immediately before his death, he had been the owner of those rights.

(3)

A licence granted in respect of future layout design rights by the prospective owner of those rights binds each of his successors in title to the prospective interest in the rights to the same extent as the licence was binding on the grantor.
